Five pounds lighter...
Twenty hours of sleep total...
The work stands at 68,238 words.
Events took some unexpected turns. Things that baffled me (why is that girl Irish? Why is she in here at all? What's with the horses?) have become clear. An encounter I'd been expecting the whole book never materialized. There are notes scattered through the text telling me what I need to add earlier...
The final showdown is underway.
The end is so close I can taste it.
Oddly, the Minor Bastard is still alive. I'm starting to wonder if he'll make it through the whole book. For that matter, I'm kind of wondering about the Hero and the Main Bastard as well. Both are more resourceful than I would have thought, and nothing is as simple as it seems.
I'm not quite finished, but I *am* having the time of my life!
Of course, once I'm finally done, I do plan to sleep for a week. That too will be most enjoyable!
In other news, the birthday was much fun.
The Tiny Dynamo provided me with some very nice gifts and a truly ginormous chocolate cake!
After all, I do have some missing kilos to put back on....

Still alive, alive, alive.....
Congrats on all of it. :)
I bow, humbled, before your word count.
Glad your birthday was good & that the book's coming along. Make sure to take care of yourself in the middle of all of that chaos!
